I LOVE donuts! I just ate three of them, and I could finish off the box. Carbs, fat, sugar...three of your basic food groups, right there. Just add alcohol and barbecue and you've got 'em all!

Seriously, though. I watch my intake of donuts cuz I don't want to pork out. But after my run this morning, I was Jonesing for a nice glazed donut. One of the greatest things about being a runner is that I get to indulge myself from time to time. And when I do, a nice warm donut, fresh out of the boiling grease, is just the thing.

You can eat donuts and still be lean, trim and healthy. Isn't that one of the reasons we run? To enjoy an indulgence now and then, without worrying about becoming some obsessive food freak?

We were just on vacation and staying in a little North Shore town called Grand Marais and they have a donut shop called "Worlds Best Donuts". We got a whole bunch and the whole family got to sample each one. They were definitely the best donuts I have ever had ,thus far!!

We don't eat donuts often, but holy cow. They make an awesome Sunday breakfast treat with coffee and they make the kids smile!

What I hate about Krispy Kreme: They glaze everything. You want a chocolate covered donut? Here let me soak in sugar first, and then apply a coat of chocolate. IMO, only glazed donuts should be glazed.
